Fast And Furious Review

Published on: 23rd April, 2009

Fast & Furious reunites the stars of the first installment in the high-octane franchise — Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster — in a sequel directed by The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift’s Justin Lin.

The story finds federal agent Brian O’Conner (Walker) tracking down a drug dealer whose operation involves the use of street racers to ship his narcotics across the border from Mexico into the U.S. A murder that’s tied to Brian’s ongoing case reunites him with his fugitive ex-pal Dom Toretto (Diesel) as well as his Full Article

Dragonball: Evolution Review

Published on: 21st April, 2009

In this modern, Web-ridden era of ours, advanced reviews and an endless succession of trailers and marketing ploys have mastered the art of making a bad movie look good or a good movie look better, eliminating that too-rare experience of discovering that a film you initially thought would be crap was actually quite the opposite.

But where Blart went for safe laughs, Observe and Report aspires to do nothing less than turn the mainstream comedy genre on its head with malevolent glee. Obviously, such an unapologetic approach will divide audiences.

State of Play Review

Published on: 21st April, 2009

Based on the BBC miniseries of the same name, State of Play is as much an elegiac swan song to print journalism as it is a gripping political thriller. But State of Play is more than just a paean or whodunit; it is really about moral compromises. The story — scripted by Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton), Matthew Carnahan (Lions for Lambs) and Billy Ray (Breach) — follows overweight, slovenly but dogged Washington Globe investigative reporter Cal McAffrey (Russell Crowe) as he discovers that a string of seemingly unrelated murders are all connected.
